The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a labor court judgment awarding damages for stolen company property. The appellant argued that the appellate court violated procedural rules by admitting a new document without party request. The court ruled that Article 381 of the Civil Procedure Code does not restrict the appellate court's power to admit evidence sua sponte when necessary for a fair trial. Consequently, the admission of the new evidence was deemed lawful and did not affect the case outcome.
